摘要：

It is now well established that mitochondria - organelles that consume oxygen and produce ATP - arose from an endosymbiotic bacterium that colonized eukaryotic cells. This has led scientists to wonder whether hydrogenosomes, which generate hydrogen as a by-product of ATP synthesis, might have arisen in the same way. Support for this idea now comes from the identification of a hydrogenosome that contains its own genome.
